    To lower the price on food just help farmers produce more food... not drive them to leave farming.

    • VP Harris is doing a great job fighting inflation… The cost of Trump’s ads are getting less expensive.

      • It's getting harder to argue that Trump's terrible economic policy positions are worse than Harris's.

        • Considering that Trump grew the debt from 14 trillion to 23 trillion in just 4 years, that plan sounds like a dream.

              Both Trump and Grandpa Joe administrations contributed a lot to the national debt... but who has contributed more?

              Over Trump’s entire term, including the 2020 spate of emergency COVID spending, the debt increased by $7.7 trillion—a staggering total, to be sure.

              However, about 15% of that debt total was the result of Treasury’s choice to keep additional cash on hand during the pandemic.

              Former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, unsure how much tax revenue would be collected, borrowed well over $1 trillion—but kept it in reserve, without ever spending it.

              Biden, however, spent that reserve, then borrowed another $7 trillion on top of it.

              Instead of simply allowing that one-time emergency COVID spending to expire, Biden and the Democratic Congress continued spending at that same COVID-era level, thus institutionalizing multitrillion-dollar deficits.

              Accounting for the changes in cash balances at the Treasury, the debt actually rose $6.5 trillion during Trump’s entire term—and is up $7.9 trillion in less than four years of Biden’s tenure.

              Worse, the Treasury has announced that it anticipates needing to borrow another $800 billion from July through September of this year, followed by hundreds of billions more from October to December as federal finances further deteriorate.

              All told, Biden will likely oversee a net increase in the debt of more than $9 trillion in a single term—a new record.

              Yeah, throw another couple of trillion on the fire... what the hell.

                If trump had half a brain, he would pound away on stuff like this, but he is obsessed with petty grievances. He had the perfect opportunity yesterday with his economy-focused press conference, but he couldn't stay on script to save his life.

                  Or maybe she's just fiscally illiterate.

                    It is encouraging to see so much blowback in response to her idiotic proposals.

                      That's not an endorsement of Trump. lol. I'm sure they will endorse her.
                      But this is an example of the "mainstream" "legacy" media doing their job and criticizing public figures.
                      WaPo is good outlet. I like them better than the times.

                      JL is right, if Trump was wise he'd seize on stuff like this and start hammering away it, but he is probably too distracted by more crass insults.

                        I don’t know much about the food industry other than being a grateful consumer. I wonder how real this scenario is.

                        • Price controls (either rent or food) are one of the dumbest ideas to come out of the modern Democratic Party. Far worse than debt forgiveness and you know how much I hate that.

                          • Let’s be honest. Price controls and skyrocket inflation are small prices to pay to prevent 4 more years of this:

                            "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                              Economists are aligned on the idiocracy of price controls in the same way scientists are aligned on climate change.
